Rachel Specter is an American writer, producer, and actress. She was a producer and writer of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015–2019). She began her career as an actress but has since written for TV series like One Tree Hill and Cougar Town, and produced Hyperlinked (2017) and Indebted (2020).
Life and career
[edit]Specter was born in Tampa, Florida. She graduated from the University of Florida, with honors. She played the role of Courtney in The House Bunny, and guest-starred in episodes of How I Met Your Mother, Gilmore Girls, What I Like About You, and Entourage. She has also appeared on Attack of the Show!,[1] The Feed, and the web series Long Distance Relationship.[2]
Before concentrating on behind the scenes work, Specter appeared as one of the actresses for the Sunsilk Color Showdown ad campaign.[3] She was also known for a series of ads for RGX from Right Guard, Procter & Gamble's mid-2000s competitor against Axe, along with ads for Jack Link's Beef Jerky.[4]
In 2018, Specter directed an episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, alongside her longtime producing and writing partner Audrey Wauchope. However, due to a Directors Guild of America regulation regarding only established duos being granted directing credit, only Wauchope was able to be credited for the episode, and Wauchope and Rachel Bloom have taken up the cause for Specter to be credited equally for her direction.[5]
